First off it is on the base document cd and is in html format...
Installing man pages to a fixed disk

Prerequisites

1.The LANG variable in the system's environment must be set to the correct value, en_US for US English.
To display the variable, enter:

echo $LANG

Use the following SMIT fastpath command to change the LANG variable:

smit chlang

2.The following filesets MUST be installed for man pages to work:

bos.html.en_US.topnav.navigate - Top Level Navigation
bos.html.en_US.nav - Online Navigation
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds1 - AIX Commands Reference 1
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds2 - AIX Commands Reference 2
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds3 - AIX Commands Reference 3
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds4 - AIX Commands Reference 4
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds5 - AIX Commands Reference 5
bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds6 - AIX Commands Reference 6

Use the command lslpp -l <filesetname> to determine if the preceding filesets are installed on the system.

If access is needed to AIX system calls and C library functions via the man command, the following filesets
must be installed:

bos.html.en_US.techref.base - AIX Base Tech Ref
bos.html.en_US.techref.commo - AIX Commo Tech Ref

Procedure

To install any or all of the preceding filesets, enter the following SMIT fastpath:

smit install_all

Then select the following:

1.Specify your CD-ROM device (for example, /dev/cd0).
2.Highlight SOFTWARE to install and press F4.
3.Select the filesets to install by highlighting the fileset and pressing F7.
4.Press Enter to initiate the install process and press Enter again to confirm the install.

NOTE: If error messages are displayed, see the section on &quot;Possible errors&quot; in this document.
 
Where do I finf=d these FILESETS??? Only found the first one and the bos.man.rte filesets in the AIX installation CD.
I also checked the &quot;Bonus Pack&quot; CD from IBM... THANKS!
